Tamworth

This is a release with various bug-fixes and quality of life improvements but no new major features. It adds many of the supporting classes necessary for PDF rendering.

Breaking Changes

• IColor can now be of type PatternColor. This implementation will throw an error when calling ToRGBValues(). You might have to check for IColor.ColorSpace != ColorSpace.Pattern before calling this function
• Remove Details suffix from ColorSpaceDetails property names
• AlternateColorSpaceDetails renamed to AlternateColorSpace
• BaseColorSpaceDetails renamed to BaseColorSpace
• Seal IColor implementations
• Use double instead of decimal in color spaces and colors
• Move IColorSpaceContext from IOperationContext to CurrentGraphicsState
• Removed ColorSpace property from IPdfImage. Use ColorSpaceDetails.Type to get the enum value
• IColorSpaceContext's CurrentStrokingColorSpace and CurrentNonStrokingColorSpace are now of type ColorSpaceDetails (not a ColorSpace enum anymore). Use CurrentStrokingColorSpace.Type or CurrentNonStrokingColorSpace.Type to get the enum value
• Logic change to DefaultWordExtractor, a logic bug in the existing implementation was fixed, meaning the output of the default page.GetWords() may change in this version

NET 4.5

Note that this version removes support for .NET 4.5. Consumers should upgrade to .NET 4.5.1 or 4.5.2
